Stories

Notes: Seeks feedback on what readers like and don't like in the magazine.
Notes: Tie-in to the Professor Quiz radio program (CBS, 1936-1941; ABC, 1941-1948), including a photo of the host, Dr. Craig Earl.
Notes: This ad for the magazine is a parody of the contemporary advertisements for Lucky Strike cigarettes, with their catch phrase, "So round, so firm, so fully packed." Just as "L.S./M.F.T." was an abbreviation for "Lucky Strike means fine tobacco," MAMFR was explained as "Miss America means finer reading."

Blum, Art Director; Jean Goodman, Supervising Editor; Joyce Reback, Fashion Editor; Annette Blackman, Joan List, Associate Editors; Gladys Kay, Shopping Editor; Aileen Fogarty, Director of Public Relations; May Mann, Hollywood Representative.
